I wonder if any of these illustrious backers are aware of the true business model of Bending Spoons, which can only be described as scammy:
1. Buy apps that have loyal users.
2. Fire all or most of the employees.
3. Update the apps with the most possibly intrusive adware, to milk user data for cash, earning a nice return.
Most users will thoughtlessly tap "OK" when asked to agree to the barrage of new permissions requested by the updated apps.
The company does other things too, but this is its main business.
